Spooning just means for two people to lie on their sides, with one person pressed up against the other person's back so that your bodies touch from head to foot. The person behind can fit their knees into the bent knees of the person in front, and wrap their arms around the other person.
It's called spooning because it resembles the way spoons nest closely to each other when stacked in a drawer. Their shapes are complementary and they fit closely at all points.
A spoon is an eating utensil with a handle and curved bowl. The term 'to spoon' is applied when two people are in bed together side by side on their sides with their legs bent. Their two bodies must be nested on into another like two spoons, one nesting in the other.
It can also mean to flirt or make advances. (Probably only UK)
